Love it. Love it. Love it. I usually cut off just the selvedge because I want ALL of my fabric. 
Some people want like 2" of fabric when they ask for the selvedge. Just love the knots ... first thing I thought of was a road for match box cars.

Love your quilt and the thought of "tying the knot". I have to admit my first thought was a pretzel but then it is past 2 p.m. here and I just realized I haven't eaten anything - so I guess my first thought was food related!

I do try and keep the plain selvedges and word selvedges separated but it doesn't always happen. I have them in bags which I can grab and take to our fishing cabin so I can sew on the verdandah.
